Long Hitters A New Era for Learning Golf Opened by Radio and Movies ACSURATE: SHORT GAME NOT WINNER Capital Pros Give Views on Walloping, but New Ball May Bring Change. OES the ability to clout & golf ball great distances really mean so much? Has the gent who can wallop a ball 50 yards past his lesser brethren a decided edge over his boy friends, even though he may be off the line a few yards? And has the man who knocks the ball a moderate distance and couples hu‘; straight game with the ability to chip and putt, lost the edge he had a few vears ago because the golf ball could be | driven so far? All golfers remember the era of the straight, accurate hitter, who could knock a golf ball 200 yards straight an down the alley and had better than average ability around the putting green, and how foolish he used to make the long hitters look. How when they came in from a round with him, they muttered something about ‘“never off the course. He just foured me to death.” The gent of the accurate, short era, | still is a formidable opponent, but he is not anywhere near as dangerous as he used to be, in the view of Fred McLeod, veteran Columbia professional, who himself is what one might call a short hitter and a deadly man around the putting green. Won National Open That Way. Fred won the national open golf championship at Myopia, away back in the mauve decade when a 250-yard drive was a terrific wallop and when the big premium came on pitching and utting. It still does, according to Fred, %ut the big hitters who came in the wake of the present long ball have neutralized the ability of the short hitter. “I knock the ball further than I used to do,” McLeod says. “And I hit it just as straight. But what am I going to do against men who outweigh me by 60 or 70 pounds and who can outdrive me 40 or 50 yards. Some of these long hitters forget what to do with the ball after they have pounded out a big tee shot, but most of them today can play the spade and mashie niblick fairly well. ‘That means that where I have to take a medium iron or a long mashie, they are playing a mashie-niblick. And that means that their margin of error is smaller, if they have the ability to play mtmuhu-nlbhck shot,.or the spade Bob Barnett of Chevy Chase feels the same way about the matter. But Bob has lengthened his tee shot within the last two years and today the little Chevy Chase mentor is as long as any of them. He has developed a full body pivot on the tee which enables him to keep pace with the bigger men who used to outhit him from the tee. “Take eur fifth hole at Columbia,” McLeod says. “I may hit one of my best and get it out there 240 yards or so, straight down the middle. Along comes the kid with the big shoulders and kneccks the ball 40 yards off the line out in the rough, but still 40 yards past me. I take a spoon or a brassie and hit it over the bunker and have a short pitch shot left to the green. The big-shouldered fellow goes over there in the rough with a spoon or a big iron and pounds the ball nearly to the green. If he misses the green, he still has a shorter pitch left than I have, and sometimes he has a putt for an eagle. Or take our ninth hole, which I think is the hardest par 4 on the course. The big boy will knock one out in the tall and uncut many yards off the line, while I may park mine straight down the middle. I have a full iron shot home and the big boy has a mashie shot. His mar- gin or error is smaller than mine, even though he is in the rough. But the rough nowadays don’t amount to much anyway, and a fellow who can knock 2 golf ball 270 yards is not much afraid of the little bit of high grass they leave on the golf courses nowadays.” Rough More Lady-like. In other days, when rough was| rough, the short hitter who was at the same time accurate from the tee had the edge, for he played his second shot from a smooth lie in the fairway, | while the big hitter who slid off into| the rough really had to make a shot | to get home. But that has all b""i changed. The rough isn't what it| used to be on the golf courses about | Washington and the day of the big| hitter is here. Some years back & Iad named Henry G. Davis used to play at Chevy Chase. You probably won't believe some of | tke things he has done. Such things as driving on the edge of the first green at Chevy Chase, driving within| 4 yards of the sixteenth green, driving into the ditch at the fourteenth from the back tee, and nearly driving the seventeenth green. But he did all these things, and we saw him one day carry over the first green at Washington, | using & spoon from the tee. Henry| Davis was the longest hitter (when hc; met the ball) we ever have seen, but | he forgot what to do with it after the tee shot. He didn't score as well as| his lengthy wallops should have en-| abled him to score. Out at Columbia these days Everett Eynon is much the same way. Everett knocks the golf ball an astounding distance, even though he hasn't the big leverage some taller men have. But Eynon knows what to do with it after he hits it. Play golf with Monro Hunter some day at Indian Spring, and if you think the short, accurate hiiter has an edge | over the big boy you will learn some- thing you never knew before. Every once in & while Hunter gets a streak of hooking from the tee, but even when he does hook badly he still hasn't much left tmt & sbort iron to the green. ‘fime after iime we Lave seen him D)l!i the fifteenth and sixteenth he\e§ at Indian Spring witn drive and a No. 3 from, W the atorter (and perhaps more accurate: gwo's Wwere pounding oat two woodan riub shots and then Playing & short piteh to reach the Fr!cn.

The big change may come with the vent of the bigger, 0 .‘!finuny 1 next. It may make littie dierence, but the tendency of the big ball to sosr from the wooden clubs of the bz hitters will make them a bit mote eareful as to direction and ac- curacy of flight. They won't go after the ball s they do todsy. knowing that 1t won't fiy up in the air like a bal- won. Yes, the era of the siugger is here, and until the nc!:dbau comes into » he won't he down ’Tllb'. the case of Bob Jones. He knows the limitstions of the present ball, but with that perfectly grooved swing that is the despair of his real competitors he hits the beil ameothly and without an appearance of effors, and stl it goes out there 260 yards and more. Bcb doesn’t like to stray from the center of the falrway any more then any other golfer, but when he does he knovs what to do. Those powerful wrists and that chunky body d that ball out of the thin rough as if it was off the fairway. They lave thae shost, accurate hitier yards | tighter bail on | ND now we have that modern marvel—the radio—telling us through the lips of famous golfers how the golf swing | should be made, and what errors we should avold to swing and score like Bobby Jones. Those fascinated listeners- in who heard MacDonald Smith elab- orate in a rich Scottish burr, over the radio, tell how a golf swing should be made, doubtless went immediately into the largest room in the house and tore up a couple of square yards of carpet in an effort to “swing” the driver through a stiff left side. When the essentials of a good golf swing can be taught through the air, picked up on a slender wire hung out in the back yard and transmitted through a half dozen tubes into the mind of the listener, something even more marvel- ous than the scoring consistency of Bob Jones has been accomplished. But seriously, those who listened to the Carnoustie Scot the other night tell how his main idea in hitting & golf ball is to swing at it instead of hitting it, d to keep the right elbow in close to the right side in order to avoid loop- ing and cutting across the ball, got in a few words, succinctly spoken by a master, just about the essence of all there is to that somewhat involved thing known as the swing. “Mac” Smith is a swinger who is not disturbed by the blabber that has been thrown around promiscously about the “hit.” And Smith goes along his own serene way, swinging at a golf ball and managing to keep almost up with the great Jones. We wonder if radio golf classes won't come out of these lessons on ,ul! by air. Can’t you picture a whole class of thousands of golf fa- natics, with clubs grasped firmly in hands, grouped about thousands of loud speakers, waiting for the instructor to say, “Start the club back slowly. Come up on your left foot. Now pro- nate. Be sure the club is pointing to | the ground and start the club down with & roll of your hips.” ‘The idea has possibilities, and it may RS. BETTY P. MECKLEY, holder of the women's District golf title, is playing fine golf around Schenectady, where she is spending part of the Summer. She recently won a one-day tourney on the golf course of the Edison Club, with a card of 92, and only last week, shot an 86 in the qualifying round of the Mohawk Club championship, to win the medal. Never in all the history of the golf clubs about Washington have there been so few golfers using the courses as during the past three weeks since Old Jup Pluv ecided to give the Earth a rest in favor of his cousin—Old Sol. What with fairways so baked that it is an ordeal to hit down through hard-caked ground, and the heat of the day under the boiling sun, it is an unusual day that finds more than 25 or 30 golfers using any of the courses. Even on week ends, when play ordinarily is quite heavy, little golf is being played by men who usually would go out and knock the ball around. They go to the clubs, to be sure, but they prefer the cool of the club house and a quiet game of bridge to the heat of the golf course. And the “Winter rules” that are almost uni- versal nowadays on the Summer golf courses of Washington do not aid in making the game any more pleasant, although they do have the effect of re- ducing the damage to the courses themselves. Members of two local clubs—Colum- bia and Chevy Chase—are eligible by reason of the membership of those clubs in the Maryland State Golf As- sociation—to play in the association handicap tourney, t0 be held at the Hillendale Club, near Baltimore, on August 14. The Beaver Dam club has notified the Maryland association that, because of the lateness of season, the invitation to join the association will not be taken advantage of this season. M. H. Maler, chairman of the golf committee, has notified the associa- tion that Beaver Dam will entertain a similar invitation next Spring. The association plans to hold a team tourna- ment in the near future. Two events are to be held by Wash- ington Golf and Country Club mem- bers during the balance of the month of August. Next Saturday a medal- play event will be staged, in which the even-numbered holes will be chosen, on which club handicaps will apply. On August 30 a nine-hole match-play com- petition will be held, with the nine holes to be drawn by lot after the full | 18 have been played. FEach Sunday and holiday afternoon the woman play- ers of the club are competing in a putt- ing tourney on the club putting course, and at the end of the season the player | having the lowest average will win a | prize. Each month Dave Thomson, the| Washington professional, contributes to the Tee, the club publication, a hint on how to improve one's golf game. Last month Dave wrote of the “straight | left,” and this month he contributes the following: may stay in control of the swing until after the ball has been struck, it is necessary that the right elbow remain in close contact with the body, during both the backward and forward swings, the right elbow not leaving the body until after the ball has been struck, and then only traveling in line with the di- rection the ball is to take, not going around to the left side of the player. “Whenever one is unable to keep the right elbow close to the body until after the baill has been struck, it means that he is using the power from his right arm too early in the swing, and when the right arm works too soon, then the lett arm will coliapse before the ball is struck. A straight left, with the rignt i elbow in close, will cut a few strokes from your round.” “Davie” knows how. None better. And he demonsirates how he knows | eary once in awhile by plaving the | Washingion course in 71 or better. Clyde B. Asher, vice president of the Cciumbia Courtry Club, who. alo. e a member of Burning Tree, played the iter course last week in 70 strokes, which 15 nothing more nor less than two under par. | Down at Annapolis Roads, where the water of Chegapeake Bay seems to at- | tract more water, and it rains far more than it does about Washington, the golf course of the club is getting considerable play.

They will outshine the shorter men almost every time, for the shorter hitter is under & big handicap to make up around the green what he loses in distance from the tee. They simply have to be long hitters to keep pace, and there is not a single profes- sional playing top-notch golf today who can be classed as a short hitter. It simply isn't being done. The age of swat is with us, and it can't be { laughed off, / “In order that the left hand and l!‘m| THE SUNDAY be that the Professional Golfers' As- sociation will have something to say about the invasion of the time honored profession of teaching goif by this busi- ness of the radio. It seems that all business must yleld to high pressure production, and if golf can be taught to thousands by & single radio broad- cast, or a single series, what is to stop Some enterprising gent stepping out with such an idea and putting it across. “Mac” Smith's talk was very interesting, and highly instructive, for he com- bined in & few words practicallly all the thoughts that thousands of pro- fessionals have tried to put across for years to perspiring pupils on thousands of practice tees. And then, to bolster up this idea of mass teaching of the golf swing, the | time is now near when the golf swings which have been held up for years as the perfect ultimate, are to be put in the movies when John and Joan can see them slowed down so the eye can pick out their essentiale and assimilate them en masse. It comes about through the fascina ing slow motion picture camera our own C. Francis Jenkins, Washing- ton inventor of television, has produced, and which already has filmed the “per- fect” swing of Bobby Jones. We put “perfect” in quotes, for Bobby loops a little, and the really perfect swing would not have in it a loop. The Jenkins camera takes 3,200 picturesa second, which means that the entire mechan- ism of the golf swing, from the time the wrists move the club back until the ball is struck, will take something like four minutes to run off through a motion picture camera. It should show the whole works, and show it in such de- tail that nothing will be missed. Al- ready emissaries are abroad, filming the swings of Harry Vardon, the old master, and Joyce Wethered, undisputed queen of woman golfers of the world. So what with radio and the movies, American enterprise seems about ready to float on the sea of golf a new gener- ation of players whose swings will be as perfect as these two mechanical devices can make them.

Handicaps will apply and the tourney will run through Septem- ber. Entries will close at noon next Sunday. Winter rules will be in effect. Looking ahead to September, the first part of the month most golfers hope will bring with it some cool weather, finds golfers of all classes getting ready for some serious business by way of tournament play. On September 2 the juniors will compete in a 36-hole medal play event for the District junior cham- plonship, now held by Roger Peacock. ‘Two days later a select group of ama- teurs will play at Burning Tree in a 72-hole medal play event for the Dis- trict amateur championship, now held by Miller B. Stevenson of Columbia. And the following week will come along the Bannockburn invitation tournament. There was some discussion last week of postponing the Bannockburn tourney, but a decision finally was reached by the golf committee to proceed with plans for the tourney which will start September 10. RAY RUDDY TO TRY FOR THIRD VICTORY Ray Ruddy, one of America’s finest young swimmers, will try for his third consecutive victory in the annual Pres- ident’s Cup race August 23, under the auspices of the Washington Canoe Club. The New York A. C. crack covered the three-mile course on the Potomac last year in 1 hour, 11 minutes and Jjust short of the record. Because of its decisive victory last year, the New York A. C. will be a strong favorite to take team honors. In 1929 this club won the first five places. All contestants must be fegistered with the A. A. U. The registration number or a statement of time and place of application must appear on the 7 winains feamiw] posse: e winning m will have 5 slon of the President’s Cup for one year.

OUTHAMPTON, Long Island, August 9 (N.AN.A).—The| climax of the American sea- son is at hand, the cham- pionships are just ahead. There is little need to write of the wom- en’s events because Helen Wills Moody will win and that's that. Owing to unnecessary delay by those in charge of completing the negotia- tions and_ extending an official invi- tation to Miss Cilly Aussem, the great German _player is not coming to_ the States this year. All plans had been made and reservations held on the steamer awaiting the official cable, but officials took so long that finally the German _association withdrew its con- sent to Miss Aussem'’s visit. The {liness of Senorita Alvarez which has taken her from the courts since before Wimbledon has robbed the American championship of another in- teresting personality, so only Betty Nuthall and her fellow English girls will add international flavor to the women's season. Notice Too Short. ‘The men’s season, which bids fair to have our greatest number of foreign players, has also dwindled due to offi- al laxness in completing the few a rangements to bring these stars to our shores. On July 30, the day we left Europe I heard that the United States Lawn Tennis Assoclation had finally given an answer to France, England, Australia and Germany about their teams. I have no idea what that an- swer was, but it makes no difference because it was given so late that none of these countries could send a team that could be really conditioned in time for our championship. Only France, due to the knowledge of conditions learned in former years, can hope to approach true form. It | seems a pity when all these countries, as well as Italy, would have sent their greatest stars to our courts that lack of foresight and decision at the proper time should have robbed us of a really great season. France may or may not send a team, depending on whether the United States will meet its wishes. The real reason that France is not anxious to send a team to our championships is because our association has not sent an official team of men to theirs for some years. Last year Prank Hunter and I played them unofficially and at our own deci- sion. This year the same thing applied to Junior Coen and me. Even Helen Wills was there at the expense of the French L. T. A, not her own. Helen Jacobs was the only United States rep- resentative who was sent and paid for by the U. 8. L. T. French Attitude Fair. Naturally, the French are annoyed. They see no reason why they should send a team at their expense to our champlonships when we do not recip- rocate. Their stand is sound and logi- cal. After all, the French are the cham- pions of the world, and as such they are in a position to demand and get privileges that a less important nation could not get, yet all they ask in re- turn for their tei.a is an American team in the French championship. It seems to me we must meet that wish next year. However, there is still a chance that a few of the forelgn stars may be with us. Borotra is coming to the United States on_business and it is likely Christian Boussus will come with him, so the two will play in our champion- ships. England has a team of young- sters, with Lee and Perry as the out- standing pair. ‘The Australians are still uncertain tut possible. This means the national doubles championship at Boston, on August 25, will find several foreign threats to the title now held by George Lott and John Doeg. There is a chance that the champlons may not defend, since Doeg did not return with the team, private matters requiring his presence in Europe indefinitely. He hoped to return in time to play with Lott at Boston. Personally, I favor Allison and Van Ryn I think Allison is over ton and, if so, the Wimbledon cham- pions are a dangerous pair. Many Good Doubles. One must keep an eye on such pairs as Bell and White, last year's runner- up pair. Hall and Mercur, the clay court champions, are dangerous, while Frank Hunter and I may spill any team. Certainly Borotra and Boussus are dangerous and possibly the leading foreign pair. Hopman with either Wil- lard or Moon will be a fine team if the Australians come. These pairs would seem to me to have the best chance. It is a gueat pity that Henri Cochet and Jacques Brugnon, French cham- plons and the conquerors of Allison and Van Ryn in the Davis Cup, are not on hand to play. If they were our event would be a real climax to the doubles year. There will be some good pairs made up from among such stars as W. F. Coen, jr.; Gregory Mangin, R. N. Will- liams, 2d; Emmett Pare, the various Californians and several others. These scratch combinations have a way of beating seeded teams that often change the whole complexion of a tournament. Last year Allison and Van Ryn went out to Bell and White, while Lott and Doeg were twice match point down to Harrison and Appel. Keep your eyes open at the national doubles, but back Allison and Van Ryn to win. I cannot see a foreign team in the final round. I look to see Lott | and Doeg, Hunter and myself and Allison and Van Ryn as three of the semi-finalists. (Copyright, 1930. by North American News- paper Alliance.)

Y., Au- gust 9.—Champion of them all, George W. Widener'’s Jamestown today held undisputed posses- sion of the 1930 juvenile turf title as the result of a slashing triumph in the Saratoga special. Meeting the best that the division had to offer, including Harry Payne ‘Whitney's highly rated Equipoise, the fast-stepping son of St. James, with Pony McAtee up, took command at the rise of the barrier and was never head- ed as he sped over the 6 furlongs in the sensational time of 1:112-5. The time was the fastest the race has ever been run in its 28 years, while it also beat St. James' mark by one-fifth of a second. Jamestown’s sire won the event in 1923, also under the Widener silks and with the same weight of 122 pounds in the saddle. Although unbeaten in three previous appearances, the flashy Widener colt went to the post second choice in the wagering at 8 to 5, the public acclaim in the betting being accorded Equipoise, which faced the barrier with a record of seven victories in eight starts. The race itself, however, was all Jamestown and McAtee, Jamestown flashed past the half-mile post in 0:46 flat and had his three ri- vals driving hard to keep up with the burning race. Rounding the big turn leading into the homestretch, McAtee ave his mount just one blow with the hip. Like a shot out of & gun James- town jumped forward, increasing his advantage to three lengths, which he held to the finish line. Equipoise was easily the best of the remainder of the small field and finished eight lengths in front of K. E. Hitt's Sun M2adow, while William Woodward's Ormesby, & son of Sir Galahad III, brought up the rear. 10, 19oU—. el UL . re Rulers in Golf : Tennis Association Given Panning by Tilden DOWN THE LINE WITH W.

Brady, who gfluflghun himself, once, and good ones, Primo Carnera, the Tall Tower of Gorgonzola, who has been traveling through the land pushing over set-ups, is only emu- lating John L. Sullivan and other sturdy gladiators of the past. It seems that this is the accepted formula for building up great gladia- tors. Mr. Brady, in the rush of many other more important matters, takes his pencil in fist to write as follows: “I like the way you took up the cudgels for Primo Carnera. If the United States is going to deport him because he traveled over the land knocking out ut-ug&. many others should be ship; “The fact is that Carnera and his managers profited by a practice that has been a well established habit of ‘champions’ for many years. John L. Sullivan did it. In fact, his record will show that 1t is mostly made up of set-up knockouts. James J. Corbett did it. In fact, he did it under my management and I arranged the dates and saw noth- ing dishonest about it, as it was an established method in those days to earn expenses between fights. James J. Jeffries, again under my manage- ment, earned many an honest penny on a ‘knockout tour.’ “Tommy Burns, Jack Johnson, Jess Willard, Jack Dempsey, Gene Tunney, all made easy money as Carnera did. Then we might remember many ‘fakes’ pulled off right here in New York City and hereabouts under the noses of our expert newspaper men and rated fans. “It is my humble belief that Carnera is “‘f'b‘e of whipping any of the so- called contenders. This means Schmel- ing, Sharkey, Campolo and even Young Stribling for whom I have a great ad- miration. That the effort to deport Carnera is backed by powerful people cannot be questioned. The inside story of the attempt would prove very in- teresting, I think. “I have no wish to go back into box- ing, nor have publicity through it, but if I were 20 years younger I would try hard to get hold of Carnera and if I did he would be world champion inside of six months and in the interim I would like to have a photo[rlrgh of the gen- tlemen who would deport him. “What a chance for & manager to take Stribling to Berlin, challenge Schmeling, fight him there LISTEN IN any Monday night— 9 o'clock—WMAL—to the Ace Oxchestra of the A —Guy Lom- bardo’s Royal Canadians on the Robt.

Since Mr. Brady was managing Corbett and Jeffries all of the romance has Yas!ed from the fight racket. It is all in dollars and cents. ‘Then, too, the Boxing Commission of New York State made it a con- dition when they permitted Schmeling to fight for the questionable title, that he sign a contract to defend it for the Madison Square Garden Corporation. This may or may not put Mr. Farley and his conferees in the position of capping or shilling for the 600 million- aires, but that was the agreement they forced out of Schmeling. If the Ger- man near-champion should elect to defend his title—such as it is—in his own country that would be regarded as unfair to the 600 millionaires and he prol‘s:bly would be suspended for life again.
